Abstract The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science was established in 1963 as Project MAC in the Department of Electrical Engineering. The principal research focus originally was the development and improvement of a computer time-sharing system. Around 1976 the lab’s focus broadened to embrace a diverse program of research sponsored by various private industries and government agencies. Research proposals, reports to funding agencies, correspondence, minutes of...

Scope and Contents The Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS), a laboratory for research in computer science and engineering, was established in at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1963 as Project MAC in the Department of Electrical Engineering. It was renamed Laboratory for Computer Science in 1976. The principal research focus for early phases of MAC/LCS was the development and improvement of a computer time-sharing system, work that was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency...

Abstract

The Tapes of Tech Square (ToTS) collection contains digital copies of the raw data (images) on the backup tapes and extracted directories of the files of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab and Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) from 1973 to the early 1990s. There is also a small amount of contextual analog content related to this material. Additionally, there are associated software tools used in and documentation about the ToTS project, from the early 1990s to 2017.
